Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is worth buying for anyone who hasn't had the pleasure of playing the original. But if you prefer something new rather than just recycled content, you can skip this DLC. The original title is still great to play on the first Switch, and the extra 30 frames per second are nice, but not necessary.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate is meant to be the beginning of a new era for the series. In reality, however, you find yourself in a small location with new abilities that aim to refresh the familiar gameplay, but instead of moving the content forward, they more often than not just end up frustratingly slowing down the pace of the game. The constant solving of puzzles associated with them quickly becomes tedious. Overall, it's not the worst DLC Destiny 2 has ever received, but it has too many shortcomings that keep it from being a must-have.

Drag X Drive is another game that exudes classic "Nintendo vibes." This means that the title offers an entirely different type of gameplay than you are used to, thanks to the Joy-Cons, which represent the movement of the right and left hands controlling a wheelchair in the sport of wheelchair basketball. Although the title doesn't offer much content, which isn't compensated for by the otherwise entertaining training challenges, and the Joy-Con registration isn't always perfect, the game can make you really want to learn all the tricks that the otherwise rich movement system offers.

The fact that Mafia: The Old Country does little more than what it promises is not a bad thing. It is a linear action-adventure game, where the story takes precedence. And although its romantic premise may not appeal to everyone, it is told in an interesting and quality manner. But in 2025, especially after the previous installments, one would expect more than just a "minimal viable product." The entire game is unnecessarily linear; the missions are often uninteresting, the gameplay is at times shockingly uninspired, and more often than we would like, we felt that the developers were making fools of the players. Mafia: The Old Country is, at its core, an entertaining average game with some production quality that elevates its quality, but it remains average nonetheless.

The Enchanted by Nature expansion introduces a fairy-tale world, new supernatural creatures, and game mechanics that encourage coexistence with nature. However, these are gameplay elements that we already have in the game in a certain way. Although fairies are once again a well-designed occult type of Sim and are the driving force behind the entire expansion, it's not enough to make it a significant expansion, and Enchanted by Nature should therefore be more of a game pack.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is a well-made souls-like game that relies on familiar principles, but does them with honesty and emotion. It offers a beautiful world, fast-paced combat, great bosses, and a sophisticated magic system. Unfortunately, it's brought down by technical details, such as chaotic camera work and occasionally rather unfair traps, where the developers confuse what 'hard' and 'unjust' mean. Wuchang isn't the most original souls-like game on the market, but it does everything well enough to be worth fans' attention.

Super Mario Party Jamboree for Nintendo Switch 2 is a fitting addition that's definitely not a must-have, but fans of the popular plumber will be pleased. The title effectively utilizes the Joy-Con function as a mouse in over 10 new minigames, and we also appreciated the new fast-paced "Frenzy" mode for Mario Party.

Donkey Kong Bananza is a great adventure game that will literally be a gold mine for children. The title offers one of the most advanced destruction models in gaming, capable of entertaining for dozens of hours. For Donkey Kong's fists can solve almost any gameplay "challenge" Bananza throws at you. And it can become repetitive despite the otherwise beautiful presentation of the entire title.

Uma Musume offers a surprisingly solid and exciting simulator of horse races, if instead of animals it featured anime girls with horse ears. Clever use of its systems lets you beat the career mode even without paying. However, if you want to pull the best horse girl, she may cost you more than an actual living horse.

FBC: Firebreak is the title of many “firsts” for Finnish studio Remedy. And it is primarily their first game that is hard to recommend to almost anyone. The passable gunplay, overall technical reliability, nice graphics, and the world of Control are outweighed by a drastic lack of content, the absence of generated elements in missions (meaning it becomes repetitive quickly), the shallowness of game mechanics, and the incomprehensibly limited communication options. As an experiment, this is fine. As a commercial title, it’s a misstep.

Rematch clearly benefits from the developers’ experience with movement systems. The controls feel highly polished and responsive. That said, the game isn’t without flaws. Occasional server issues can disrupt the experience, and a more meaningful single-player mode is currently missing. But the potential here is massive.

Death Stranding 2 is a fascinating yet conflicted sequel. Unafraid to slow down, reflect, and stir emotion, but too often at the cost of frustration and recycled mechanics. It refuses to pander, save for the promise of story continuation, stellar cast, and an evocative soundtrack. But before expanding its world, it should have focused more deeply on refining its gameplay, because the magic of the first game can’t be relived twice.

Deltarune isn’t trying to be an Undertale clone, but rather to build on player expectations and subvert them. Even though the truth about its mysteries is yet to be revealed, Deltarune’s many systems reward experimentation and make exploring its current chapters worthwhile even multiple times.

Blades of Fire had potential. Nicely designed combat system, Interesting and original world, and most importantly, a big-name developer. To call the game bad would be unfair, but to call it mediocre would be fitting. A story without much meaning, stupid jokes, and most of all, a frustrating map that has you running back and forth. Unfortunately, combined with the PlayStation 3-like graphics, the game still fails to appeal to a broader audience. It's more for people looking for a retro feel in a modern way.

Spirit of the North 2 presents a stunning world, a serene atmosphere, and new gameplay elements that enhance the experience of the original game. Exploring the environment is rewarding, and the soundtrack effectively enhances the overall atmosphere of the game. Unfortunately, it is hindered by technical flaws, poor optimization, and occasionally erratic skill controls. If you don't mind a slower pace, have patience, enjoy noticing even the most minor details, and appreciate exploring even the most remote corners, the game can keep you engaged.

The Alters is a great game that fans of elaborate stories and personality psychology will especially enjoy. If you prefer shorter conversations, the title may not be for you, but otherwise, it's a great combination of survival, strategy building, and adventure game that offers a lot of replayability.

The Precinct is an awesome cop simulator with a great atmosphere. The only shame about it is that, after a few hours of quality entertainment, the game becomes repetitive and doesn't offer much in the way of new content.

RoadCraft got scared of the mud that was too soft and decided to shift into reverse. On one hand, Saber Interactive is finally bringing the ability to build roads and bridges. On the other hand, it simplifies the core mechanics. Still, even slight improvements to physics and visuals are a welcome touch.

Elden Ring Nighreign utilizes the popular IP to deliver an experimental game that, at first glance, appears to be a bizarre mash-up of genres. The reality is that this mix of souls-like, rogue-lite, battle royale, and "hero shooters" works surprisingly well. The main flaw, however, is the amount of content. There's very little that's completely new, making the game feel more like a recycled or perhaps even fan-made modification. Moreover, it lacks deeper systems to engage beyond a maximum of a dozen hours for die-hard fans. For everyone else, though, it probably won't be a compelling reason to return to the world of Elden Ring, and it won't convince them otherwise.

The First Berserker: Khazan may not look like a classic Souls-like at first glance, but the combat puts it boldly up there with the best. It's a brutal, fast-paced, and addictive brawler that rewards patience and precision. The story doesn't impress and the side content feels repetitive, but the essentials - the combat system and boss fights - work a treat. If you enjoy a challenge, like to learn from mistakes, and don't mind Korean style, you shouldn't miss this one. Khazan isn't a revolution, but it's a damn fun evolution.
